Chapter 1234: Chapter 1254: How about, we invade the enemy camp?_1

Yuan Ji suddenly looked up, his eyes full of shock: "Took my form?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, he attacked ruthlessly, and I was severely injured in the blink of an eye. So, I instinctively grabbed your True Soul, but he did not react at all. It was then I realized the killer wasn’t you. This is my fault, causing you to suffer unjustly."

The color drained from Yuan Ji’s face as he bowed again: "Master, you despise harmful intentions, you didn’t destroy my True Soul even under such circumstances. I’m grateful for your mercy."

Lin Chen waved his hand: "At that time, I assumed you were from the demon race and might have been turned against me during interactions with them. So I wanted to control you and ask for the truth. Thankfully, if I had killed you directly, you would have been wrongfully dead."

Earlier, Yuan Ji thought Lin Chen warned him in this way because he hadn’t returned for a long time. He never expected such a huge misunderstanding.

Thinking about how he nearly died unexplainedly, he was filled with dread.

Thankfully, Lin Chen wanted to control him and ask him about the situation. If he had acted recklessly and crushed his True Soul directly, he would have indeed been wrongfully dead, just as Lin Chen had said.

"Thank you, Master. Has the killer escaped?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Even though he severely injured me, the Fairy restrained him, and he is already dead."

Yuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that he’s dead; otherwise, he didn’t know if he would still be lucky the next time the killer tried to frame him.

"What about this time’s troops?"

Yuan Ji replied: "I infiltrated the troops and captured several officers for questioning. There were many Great Witches accompanying the current army, but I couldn’t find out whether there were any immortals. I observed for several days and didn’t notice the presence of any immortals."

"This time’s leading army commander is one of the Seven Generals of the Demon Clan, the Qinglong Saint Monarch of the Azure Dragon Gate. He commands at least two to three hundred Great Demons. The scene is quite daunting."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened at this. If he encountered this kind of lineup, wouldn’t he be crushed into dust in a minute?

Gao Yi arrived and after inquiring about the situation, he finally asked: "If Xuanji takes action, can these Great Witches and Great Demons withstand it?"

Lin Chen replied with certainty: "They cannot."

Once Gao Yi had his answer, he definitively said: "In that case, there must be Immortals in their camp!"

Lin Chen questioned: "Why?"

Gao Yi laughed: "The demon race is raising an army because they have the backing of immortals who are trying to force Xuanji Fairy out. You and Xuanji Fairy are likely together. If there were no immortals in the camp capable of suppressing Xuanji Fairy, they would definitely not deploy troops on such a large scale. After all, in front of the Fairy, it would just be a giveaway!"

"Just as we initially speculated, after the demon race’s vanguard was defeated by us, they would definitely send a real force. This is the true front, but also bait."

Lin Chen stroked his chin: "If that’s the case, these Great Witches and Great Demons are just bait put out in the open. The immortals are hidden among them, waiting for us to fall into their trap..."

Gao Yi nodded: "It should be like this; otherwise, none of this makes sense."

Lin Chen tilted his head slightly: "Fairy, can you sense the existence of the opposition?"

The voice of Xuanji Fairy echoed: "Yes, but as much as I can sense them, they should also be able to sense me. In the Wildlands, no matter our strengths, when we suppress each other, there isn’t much difference. Moreover, since the opposition is sending people to deal with me, they have to be stronger."

Lin Chen asked: "Since there isn’t a big gap between our strengths when suppressed, and they want to suppress you all at once, there’s only one answer – there are more than one immortal there..."

Xuanji Fairy nodded: "That should be the case."

"Let me think, you go ahead."

Lin Chen told Gao Yi and Yuan Ji to leave before asking: "What should we do now? We can continue to retreat, but to do that without knowing the enemy’s numbers and strengths..."

Qi’s voice suddenly sounded: "Xuanji, stay in the tower. You bring me along. As long as we get close enough, I can detect their presence. They can’t detect me."

Lin Chen asked excitedly: "The immortals can’t detect you?"

Qi replied: "Yes, I’m a Magical Treasure. The Array Formation within me can conceal my fluctuations. This way, I can sense their fluctuations, but they can’t detect mine."

Lin Chen queried: "How close do we need to get?"

"It depends on their level of concealment. If it’s just ordinary invisibility, I could probably sense them several tens of kilometers away. But if they have intentionally concealed their breath, we’d have to get really close – within one kilometer or even less."

Qi answered: "I can’t give you an exact answer."

Lin Chen blinked, a plan forming in his mind: "If the enemy’s Immortal discovers you, can you escape, Sister Qi?"

Qi replied: "It shouldn’t be a problem."

Lin Chen immediately had a thought: "In that case, let us infiltrate enemy territory..."
